General description

2-Chloroacetophenone is an organic building block used in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. It has low solubility in water but can be soluble in alcohols, ethers and other organic solvents.

Application

2-Chloroacetophenone can be used in the synthesis of phenyl acetic acid by Photo-Favorskii rearrangement. It is also used in the preparation of 1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethanol via asymmetric hydrogenation reaction.
